I think I need to post more! I need more love and support!! ;) So this is one awesome artist, he has an etsy and is the creator of Emily the Strange, I have always felt some kind of kinship with her because growing up and still I am the weird one of my friends, or just strange because I am open to so many loves and likes. I can't just settle on one idea for long, except for flowers. I still greatly love flowers, miss designing them in arrangements and can't help but want to rearrange them when I see them or get them. After the baby bib project I have not done much. Today though I should be creating in clay which is a past love and something I did throughout HS and some college. I'm thinking of creating some boxes to start. It will be fun to get my hands dirty again, what can I say I do love making a mess! Clay time is the best and I can't wait!!

Bib/aprons

 

So this is what I have been working on all week for these wonderful people. Some geeky bib/aprons, superman, batman, mr.strong/mr.happy, curious george. My fingers are sore. Today I took a few pictures of bottles of liquor for my job where I want to be. Just have to edit them as soon as my friend sends them to me, I borrowed his camera. I belong in san diego at this place called Holiday Wine Cellar and I just have to show them they need me and my awesomeness!

Just a little doodle

 Starting this idea for Mario climbing one of these plants, but then what if it was a topiary. I love topiaries, why don't I get inspire to draw more things I love when I have a pencil in my hand haha. So I have taken to writing down ideas as they come, also I downloaded an app for drawing no my phone for quick sketchs!

And this guy is for another idea I have, I did a quick sketch but he will help!

A little something to say "Oh Hai" A picture from Comic Con, Alice talking to herself, it's like a reality dream. I like to spend my life in dreams sometimes, this morning it was a bout my little ponies, little mermaid and cleaning out the freezer with a childhood friend. Funny stuff. If we can use our dreams to facilitate our reality and inspire us to move mountains with greatness, then I had better keep a better dream journal! At least I inspire people in my dreams as well :D What inspires you?

What an update so soon, oh yeah! Cliff is sending vibes

Well another layer has gone down, of course there is a long way for it too go, to look the way I want and I will be busy all this week so he will have to wait until say monday or so. Her favorite color is red so I thought I would give some red throughout, I believe adding another layer of white over and in between some of the red will look nice, I might even do a few layers and build up the oil a bit. This is like my third oil painting. So he gets the weekend to dry while I visit the zoo.

Cliff Burton is making an appearance

So I have started the painting for my sissy. I sketched the canvas two weeks ago and today I added some white for the face and arms. I find that a little help is not what I want when I'm trying to be creative, just trying to get into the groove, some people don't realize that they are hovering. We as artist have a vision and our own way of doing things, so I want all of him in the picture, I'll figure it out how to get the parts the way I want, somehow. It's a process, I'll find out the way like you do and the thing about me, well I like imperfections for some things and maybe just finding an imperfect way of painting him is what I am all about. It's an extension of yourself and I'm going into this portrait! So far it's not much and I don't expect anyone to really look at this and see what is on it's way but it's a start. It's not much but there it is.

Another oldie

I was inspired by my cat, she was so relaxed and snoring a lil so I decided at midnight of all times to capture her the best I could. She is a cream colored cat so I realized quickly that this was not an easy task.

I think getting some oldies on here is good

"Creativity is paradoxical. To create, a person must work hard but spend time doing nothing as information incubates, must create many ideas yet most of them are useless, must look at the same thing as everyone else, yet see something different, must desire success but embrace failure, must be persistent but not stubborn, and must listen to experts but know when to disregard them." - Psychology Today

 When not working on much at the moment I think I will add something at least just to keep up with this. Here is dozen songs by one of my favorite bands put into visual. Blue October.  Also I couldn't waste that quote, it's so awesome!

Web Presence

I have been finding that in order to get more support you need to build your web presence. I feel like I'm juggling between when I'm suppose to be working cause I want to comment on as many blogs or threadless submissions as possible so I can get more of a following, or support I guess. I am new to this but I am really working hard on finding my way in the art world. We know we like art but finding the direction to take our art well that is a whole other story. I'm sure that you know what I mean? So here is a little sketch that I thought I would add. Cute little fisher fairy. Would be cool if I could do more with it to make it a submission. My mind is all over the place and I should be working but I have a million pictures going through my brain and feel all over the place, kind of like when I'm trying to go to sleep, does anyone else feel that way? Maybe I should start a tumblr?
